Looks like it’s gearing up to be another cold bleak week in the ol’ US of Ayyy-we-still-doing-this? Thank goodness we have this indie rock banger from Norway’s Lazy Queen to drive away the shadows both internal and external. Opening riffs seldom convey both the energy and uplifting nature of a song as well as the first few seconds of “Alcohol” does, and few songs of any genre have hooks as hooky as the vocals on the chorus. Throw in a mid-song break down breather before the late push rally and this is a by-the-numbers classic. Whether you prefer to warm up your body and spirits with spirits of a liquid kind or you’re like Postcard Editor and use black coffee for that extra motivation to keep moving on, moving on this is a song for you. For some a new party / morning after the party anthem and for the rest a good old fist pumping jolt of pop punk positivity.
